A bit stouter,and well-prportioned,this
specimen contains an exquisite phantom
with layers of Smoky and Amethyst.The
crystal itself is water-clear in the upper half,
milky at the very bottom,and has internal
cavities in between.The clarity of the upper
portion makes the phantom all the more
stunning.There is a twinned crystal that
extends from the bottom to about halfway
up the shaft;it is nearly absorbed into the
larger crystal,and oddly enough wraps
around two sides.Near the top is a blemish
which appears at first to be an old blow-out,
but with a loupe it can readily be seen that it
is in fact an old key,left by a small cross-
crystal.Now look closer with the loupe for the
surprise.In the cavity left by the old cross-
crystal are what appear to be tiny mounds
of prehnite!Also with the loupe,it looks as
though there are small manifester crystals
hovering just above the bottom of the peice.
A truy wondrous specimen with great color
and form.7.1 cm long,2.2 cm wide and
1.5 cm deep.

This specimen is a study in purple.It is
saturated with profuse purple coloring,
which when combined with very good
clarity,provides a veritable feast for the
eyes.There are a lot of internal workings
in this one,including the beginnings of
skellitization.With backlighting and a
loupe,one can see tiny flakes of
Lepidocrosite,as well as tiny flecks of
Hematite.A beautifull example for the
Amethyst lover,it is a powerfull meta-
physical crystal as well.
Check out those mega-record keepers!
5.3 cm long,2.5 cm wide and 2 cm deep.
Item BB7......$25.00
A pretty little lavender Brandberg,perched
on a bit of sparkly matrix.This is a mostly
clear crystal infused with purple phantoms
which can be best veiwed from the side
of the peice.There are many internal planes,
veils,and cavities which are most interesting
toward the top of the crystal,where they
take on a chevron-type phantom shape.
The matrix is covered with tiny Quartz crystals
on the top side,which makes for a most
pleasing effect.There is also one raised record
keeper on the main face.5.5 cm long,2 cm
wide and
1.5 cm deep.
Item BB8......$25.00
Harlequin Brandbergs are rare,and truly
good ones are even rarer!This little beauty
is a Ying-Yang DT Harlequin with a spray
of small Quartz crystals emerging from one
side;wow!The spray is situated right in the
middle of the crystal,and serves as the
dividing-line for the internals.To one side
the one half is milky,and there appears to
be a twinned termination at this end.The
other half is water clear with a few internal
cavities,what may be a few manifestors,
and big deep red flakes of Lepidocrocite!
There are a lot of nubs(old and healed)
on the sides of both ends,some healed
keys and other interesting features.This
is one powerfull little beauty which
happens to pack a pretty good visual
punch as well!5.2 cm long and 1.5 across.
